until this mighty traffic gradually &C
quires in all our great cities more prop
| erty in land and buildings than any
other industry. Yes, an industry it
must be called in the strict sense of the
| word; for no other trade is fostered
with so much diligence and persever-
ance as this.
How far does this thing 60? Where
shall we land? Do your statecrafty
politicians and our money-wise pro-
prietors of newspapers discover in the
enormous wealth Of the liquor traffic
only guide-post pointing them to the
shortest road to political success or
personal fortune? Is all nobleness
and humaneness dead? Has Mammon
indeed overcome all moral principle?
Do our daily papers exist only for vul-
gar gain and party?
Their dastardly silence in the pres
encc of the boundless ruin which the
drink traffic produces. their dead
apathy in the presence of the colossal
system of robbery, which this traffic
practices against human society, their
eager espousal of the liquor saloon in
all its qualifications of the law-yes,
their insolent abetting of the saloon
keepers to an open and united revolu-
ton against law and shadow of doubt
that they are influenced by the money
of the liquor-dealer and are conscious
and willing partakers in all that is
bound up in this liquor traffic.
Since the great mass of the German
people in the United States are guided
by such daily newspapers and are edu-
Gated and led by them, is it any wonder
that the business of the manufacturer
and sale of Intoxicating drinks is
chiefly in German hands, or that, de-
spite the much-boasted German moder-
alton. the vice of drunkenness-which
other solid virtues can not free them
fronts claiming thousands of victims
among the Germans? But. God be
praised. it shall not always be so. The
hope of seeing the German press take a
new attitude, through which in right
sense we may be characterized as "a
sociable people," is perhaps an idle one
for the present. But 1t will come
with time. The nobler German
spirit will not always bow under the
yoke, but will demand the humiliation
of the tyrannica! traffic. For, to use
the words of foreign German paper:
mo modern nation can, without do
ing injury to itself, postpone the time
of solution of this question; and it is
one of the highest duties of the legisla-
tor to seek for the conditions by which
it shall be possible to protect the people
from this slow, but in its effects de-
populating form of suicide. Der

THE TREASURY VAULT.

Coin Ever Constructed.

looked at the workmen who are en-
gagged in constructing the new vault.
The Treasury itself looks like tomb.
1t has great somber columns down
each side of it. and the doors of its
basement arc 50 cut that they look as
though they were dug out of solid
rock. Every thing about it is massive,
and it makes me think more of the
Bank of England than any other build
ing / have seen. 1t is made in the
shape of hollow square, with wide
tiers of granite walls running around
a court in the center. 1t is in this
court that the new vault is being built.
Its interior will be cut up into cells,
walled with iron lattice work, and the
workmen are now riveting the iron
bars composing it together. These bars
must be very strong, rs the weight Of
the silver which is to be put in the vault
will be immense. There was portable
furnace blazing away within the
vault and four men were carry
ing red-hot rivets and sticking
them through the holes which had
been drilled in these iron bars. They
were then rivited by the pounding of
a heavy hammer while man held an
iron mallet against them at the back.
Each of these lattice-wOrk walls re-
quire 2. 500 rivets, and it will take
more than 100000 of these rivets to
fasten the iron work of the vault to-
gether. The vault is to contain $780,
600. 600. which is such an immense
sum that few people can comprehend
it. 1t will give some idea of it to
know that its weight will be $3.50
tons, or the weight of $500 men of
200 pounds each. Think of the heavi-
est man you know, and it would take
s.. 600 such men to weigh rs much rs
does this silver. 1t would take 17S
freight cars to carry it, and it would
take train mile and quarter long
to transport it. Its weight would be
so much that locomotives could
hardly haul it, and if these dollars
were laid out so that one just touched
the other they would make a line e.
305 miles long. If they were put into
floor, edge to edge, they would car
pet ten times the area of the Ca pitol. or
more than thirty acres, and if they were
piled one upon another they would

But the closer thy clutch OF the blade.

Deeper wound in thy hand is made
It is thy blood reddens the steel.
